Hyena

A cackling pack hunter that calls allies when engaging prey.

A mangy, slope-backed predator with a jaw powerful enough to crack bone. Hyenas are rarely alone — if you see one, three more are watching from the scrub. Their eerie, whooping laugh carries for miles across the dry grasslands, a sound that has haunted the nightmares of many a lost traveller. They are not brave individually, but the pack emboldens them. A lone hyena might shadow you for hours, waiting. A pack will simply attack.
